I'm still having trouble believing that there are so many fools in Lansing. When will enough be enough??? I guess this is just one more nail in Michigans coffin. I can't even afford to bid on this state on ebay!!! To much tax to pay!!

Jack -- Thank you for keeping us posted. I've never been on the internet more. With a husband and a daughter on the layoff list it hits home big time. But we are all FIRM IN OUR RESOLVE THAT "revenue" (taxes, fees, whatever is the current in term) ARE GOING TO KILL THIS STATE!!! When can we get responcible people into Lansing and kick out all of the special interest elected!!

steph623 I couldn't agree more, I only hope all of this nonsense will give a bit more weight to that argument. Its not even about how worthless she is, its about sending the message to everyone else, they are beholden to the special interests, and the lobbyists, and the unions, and they need to realize, they are accountable to us, the people who pay their salaries.

I might add here that NO REPUBLICANS voted for this. Please send a message of thanks to our GOP Reps. They stood firm. It's all they could do. I'm proud of them. This was passed because those yellow Dems who were previously abstaining, finally voted.

For anyone who is interested here are the names and contacts of the Dems who were abstaining:
